Miller slams Peel landfill sites By Oksana Buhel Town of Halton Hills mayor Russ Miller didn’t mince his words when he met with Interim Waste Authority (IWA) officials sday morning in Brampton. His concern centred on the prox- imity of two Peel Region proposed landfill sites, located between Mayfield Rd., Winston Churchill Blvd., and the CN tracks. “These sites are too close to the Credit River to be safe,” insisted Millér. “They’re also too close to the Huttonville well, which may become a possible water source for Halton Hills.” resented the IWA with a 30-page report describing flaws with the proposed sites.The same Teport was presented to Town of jon Hills council during an in- camera meeting Tuesday evening. “The sites are not large enough to last 20 years,” ” explained Miller. “Maybe 15 years at most.’ Stephen D’Agostino, the lawyer involved with the issue of the two landfill sites, added other concerns.

One site in par- ticular would generate approxi- mately 4,000,000 cu. m. of excavat- ed material, which would require approximately 800,000 dump trucks to cart it away.
